Paulo da Gama

Paulo da Gama (? – Angra do Heroísmo, July 1499) was a Portuguese explorer, older brother of Vasco da Gama.

He took part on the first sea trip from Europe to India, led by his brother, commanding the ship São Rafael, which would be later scuttled in the return trip. Paulo da Gama joined the São Gabriel, but, already sick, died the day after his ship arrived at the Azores.
